@ Blackfriars, cask. Light golden amber. Herbal character - probably saaz. Body is soft, cask-like. Malts are basic, maybe a bit grassy. Hops are soft and herbal, aromatic, but without much bitterness. I like it bitter - I would view this as a golden bitter rather than anything Czech in inspiration.
